Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out over 11.5ha using a cart-based system of 5 magnetometers spaced 0.5m apart. Magnetic anomalies include an L-shaped feature in the southern part of the site that appears to relate to a rectilinear enclosure with a linear group of magnetically enhanced pit-like features to the east. The site contains numerous pit-like anomalies relating to naturally formed soil-filled features and pit-like features relating to disturbance through ploughing within the limestone geology; at times it is difficult to distinguish those with an anthropogenic origin from those with a natural origin. Larger pit-like features could also relate to naturally formed features, although an association with former quarrying is possible. A number of linear anomalies appear to relate to former linear boundary ditches, but these are generally unmapped. Anomalies relating to ridge and furrow and land drainage can also be seen in the dataset. |
